Do it yourself baggage check

The funny part about traveling as large group is that we are one dominating force in the airport. Overall things are going quite smoothly and we made it through the double security points (one for the small airport and one before check in), have checked in for our flight and are all excited to go to the NE Science Station in Cherskiy. It is time to go and check out this amazing landscape as we fly North. The landscape will be filled with lakes and riversin a relatively flat area. Coming from the West it is always an eye opener to see so many lakes in such a flat landscape. One of the things the students have been talking about is how much we are shaped by topography in the West compare to this part of Siberia. Looking forward to the trip! I hope all of you are well back home.
